It’s #WorldOceansDay so here are 3 reasons why it is the planet’s beating heart and we need to #saveouroceans…. 1/6

1. The ocean feeds us: >1.5billion ppl rely on the fish in the ocean as their primary source of protein @WorldOceansDay #SaveOurOceans 2/6

@WorldOceansDay 2. The ocean absorbs lots of heat from burning fossil fuels & moves it around planet regulating our temp #WorldOceansDay #SaveOurOceans 3/6

@WorldOceansDay 3. The ocean’s phytoplankton give us over half the oxygen we breathe. @WorldOceansDay #SaveOurOceans 4/6

@WorldOceansDay We’re making the ocean HOT [see 2 above], SOUR [absorbing all that CO2] & BREATHLESS [fertiliser runoff] #WorldOceansDay #SaveOurOceans 5/6

@WorldOceansDay And we’re polluting it with plastic. SAY NO TO SINGLE-USE PLASTIC. Protect the planet’s beating heart. @WorldOceansDay #SaveOurOceans 6/6

@WorldOceansDay It’s the premiere of my NEW ‘Deep Ocean Lab’ talk at @CheltSciFest on Sunday - come join me on a scientific adventure to the deep!
